Laurent,
Thanks so much for the welcome and the tips on bug entry.
Alas, two attempts to register at rubyforge.org proved
fruitless.
Each time I got the confirmation email, clicked on the link
to
confirm, and was prompted to log in. But typing in the
relevant user
name and password gave the dreaded reply:
Access denied
Credentials you entered do not correspond to valid account
[sic].
If any RubyForge admins are on this list, the problematic
accounts are
PhilipR and PhilipReed; I succeeded in changing the password
in the
former but then was told that my account still needed to be
verified,
with the same problem of my login not recognized as valid.
Can someone confirm that the registration mechanism for
rubyforge is
in fact working? Again this problem was on Windows ME
(which I can't
imagine would matter, unless Firefox were mangling the
passwords or
something!), but I'll try from an XP machine tomorrow just
for
variation.
thanks,
Philip
